Porygon seems (barely) usable, but the Agility set needs to get out of the analysis. How the heck is 85 base Special Attack and 40 base speed going to sweep, and how is it any better than anything else out there. If it gets lucky with Download and uses Agility, you could have just used Gorebyss or something could just use Shell Smash and destroy everything. Or they could just have more than 85 base Special Attack.

Defensive looks lacking in options but is OK, but the Tank set looks usable.

On Machoke, I don't really think it deserves an analysis. It's mostly outclassed by Gurdurr, the only reason you would use Machoke is because it has Dynamicpunch. Even newer users would know this if they knew anything about at all Machamp, so its predictable, so that's a problem.

EDIT: Yeah, Machoke isn't unvaible. Now I agree it won't hurt to keep it.
